Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy is working with NVIDIA to create physics-informed digital twins of wind farms — groups of wind turbines used to produce electricity.
The company has thousands of turbines around the globe that light up schools, homes, hospitals and factories with clean energy. In total they generate over 100 gigawatts of wind power, enough to power nearly 87 million households annually.
Virtual representations of Siemens Gamesa’s wind farms will be built using NVIDIA Omniverse and Modulus, which together comprise NVIDIA’s digital twin platform for scientific computing.
The platform will help Siemens Gamesa achieve quicker calculations to optimize wind farm layouts, which is expected to lead to farms capable of producing up to 20 percent more power than previous designs.
With the global level of annual wind power installations likely to quadruple between 2020 and…
